Due to the delay in the arrival of the corona vaccine, the pace of vaccination in Assam is now slowing down on Tuesday. There have also been reports that in many private hospitals and clinics of the state, even those arriving to take the scheduled second dose are being given doses. The Health Ministry has devised a special strategy for vaccination due to the delay in the arrival of fresh stock. In this strategy, the priority has been fixed for the second dose.

State Vaccination spokesperson Munindra Nath Nugget said that wherever possible, the first dose is being given, but there is a guideline from the state health department that vaccination of the second dose should not be stopped. He categorically denied that there was any directive that planned to stop the first dose until the vaccine stock was filled. He said that there is no guideline to take such a drastic step.

The second dose was also not found at many places: It has been learned that Johar Chaudhary, a resident of Doomduma, who arrived to receive the second dose on Tuesday, said that he had to come back without getting the vaccine dose because the stock at the vaccination center Has been finished. He said that the first dose of me and my wife was put in a government hospital in Doomdoma on 15 March. Today we went for our second dose, but the hospital staff has asked us to come next Monday due to the stock being over.

Influx of people in hospitals: According to officials, in the last few days, there is the gathering of people for corona vaccination in government and private hospitals. On April 9, there was a dispute in Dibrugarh, Upper Assam, that the District Vaccination Officer had allegedly spoken to a private hospital to stop the first dose of vaccine. Dr. Krishna Kemparai, Joint Director of Health Services, said that the officer has been issued a show-cause notice in this case. State Health Minister Hemant Biswa Sarma had said that the new vaccine stock would come on Tuesday, but the stock did not reach till evening.
